Just like internships, study abroad, and learning communities, academic civic engagement is a high impact practice that invites students and faculty to learn with and contribute to the community around them through what they are already doing–their classes!
Join Julie Plaut from MN Campus Compact as she shares information and leads a conversation about providing meaningful opportunities for civic engagement for your students through the courses you are already teaching. Explore the breadth of academic civic engagement work and pedagogy, develop a deeper understanding for how this work meets the goals and mission of higher education in general and St. Olaf in particular, and discuss with colleagues how to align real-world learning with your course learning objectives and communicate the goals of ACE work with your students. Participants will leave with national and regional resources to use to implement academic civic engagement in their courses.
